 THE FUTURE OF MATERIALISM



What if the knowledge about our natural ressources would define the future of our industries?






Welcome to a new industrial era



Humans will always produce goods. However, how is the question. Overproduction, disfunctional supply chains and malfunctioning retail markets are signs for a need for change. There are producers, craftswomen and craftsmen, designers and marketers who think in an ecosistemic way. They believe into the future of materialism, as we do.

A future where added value  is no longer the principle, where augmenting the inherent value is key. Where territories and humans profit from the production as well from the commerce. Where  interdisciplinary exchange and global knowledge sharing drives solutions for improving local ly rooted businesses. This future begins now.

We bring together matters, makers + markets
to foster cultural-led commerces with purpose 


The Future of Materialism FOM supports and guides makers across diverse disciplines who pursue ecological, ethical, and innovative approaches to product development and sustainable business practices. We call it the Future of Materialism.

It is high time to think industries in terms of eco-systems.







By committing to the longevity of our natural ressources, producing means is contributing effectively to the preservation of our cultural heritage and fostering inovation.

Our value chain:

  1. We interconnect people as entrepreneurs, makers, strategists, developers, scientifics and designers
    to work collectively and with common sense.
  2. Together we develop new strategies to transform the value of our natural ressources into products with a positive impact on our environment, people and their culture.
  3. We find ways to preserve the diversity of our resources by examining the spectrum of applications from our ancestors to today's innovators.
  4. Production and culture are intertwined. The streamlining and standardisation of production disolves the sense of making, deconnects ressources from processing and destroys local eco-systems.
  5. Crossdisciplinary perspectives on a material, its transformation and possible use, is the solution to find new approaches to the ever changing requirements of the people and our planet. 
  6. We believe into a collective intelligence that will drive the future of production in a more sensual and sensful way.
  7. We believe into the future of materialism.

We are cultivating a vital humus for the future of making. 

Together we transform the future.
